One of a few drummers our drummer Anton Fig would leave his kit to watch work when Foo Fighters appeared on Late Show. A true R&R giant. This is a very sad day. RIP. pic.twitter.com/1wUQKr9mqi

I think the deep sadness we all feel about Taylor is directly correlated to the example of joy and fun and companionship that he lived by. We all hope to be *and* have a Taylor in our life.
RIP to a great one??
